The fate of Muslim children who die young, and the virtue of those who accept them as a trust with Allah

Question:
We return at the beginning of this episode to a message received by the program from one of our female listeners. The sender, whose initials are H.S.A., says: We presented a large part of her questions in the episode on "al-Nabt," and she has one question remaining in this episode. She asks: "It is said that whoever dies young is in the care of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). What does it mean that he is in the care of Ibrahim?" May Allah reward you with good. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Answer:
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. When the children of Muslims die young, before reaching puberty, they are called "al-afrat." They intercede for their fathers with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. The word "farat" means the one who goes ahead. Among the Arabs, the "farat" is the one who reaches the water source first. These children are called "abraq" because they preceded their fathers to the mercy of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and to Paradise. This is regarding the children of Muslims. It has come in the hadiths a statement of the great virtue for the one whose children die young and who is patient and accepts the matter as a trust with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
As for them being in the care of Ibrahim, I do not know of this. However, in the supplication that has been reported, it is said that when praying over the "farat," part of the supplication is: "And place him in the care of Ibrahim." Yes.
